Janet Yellen, in India for the first time as US Treasury Secretary, touted her vision for a new form of globalized trade and investment that aligns like-minded nations and downgrades the role of China.

“For too long, countries around the world have been overly dependent on risky countries or a single source for critical inputs,” Yellen said in remarks at a Microsoft Inc. facility in New Delhi on Friday. “We are proactively deepening economic integration with trusted trading partners like India.”
